Problems with multi-language characters/unicode

#26508

This is a bit difficult to explain, so sorry if this doesn’t make sense. But basically I have the following html that contains “This is a test.” in several different languages. I run it though PD4ML calling the “useTTF” function (passing the path to my fonts, and true to embed the fonts). I’ve attached the resultant PDF. The PDF for the most part looks correct, however, the last two Chinese lines produce different results. The only difference between the lines is that one has the Chinese period character, and the other does not. When the line with the period is converted to PDF, it fails to display the rest of the characters. But the line below it with all the Chinese characters except the period is displayed correctly. Can someone explain what’s going on?

This html contains several translations of the sentence “This is a test.”

English	This is a test.
Arabic	هذا هو الاختبار.
Japanese	これはテストです
Vietnamese	Đây là một thử nghiệm.
Hebrew	זהו מבחן.
Russian	Это тест
Chinese (Traditional)	這是一個考驗。
Chinese (Traditional, with no period)	這是一個考驗

This may be because of the fonts available for PDF generation.
